When Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Kilip Elementary, he didn’t know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students, he noticed a couple of days after school that a group of kid would get together to play chess. “I know how to play chess, let me go and show these kids how to do it,” he said. Now, Komada coaches the school’s chess team. The whole program started as a safe place for kids to come after school. And this week, dozens of those students are getting ready to head out to Nashville Tennessee to compete with about 5000 other young people at the Super Nationals of Chess. The competition only happens every four years, and the last time the team went, they won the third place in the nation. Komada says Chess gives him and his students control. The school has the highest number of kids from low-income families. Police frequent the area day and night. As 2 months ago, a young man was shot just down the street. Komada likes to teach his students that they should think about their move before they do it. The lessons proved valuable outside the classroom as well. Many parents see these lessons translate into the real world. Students are more likely to think about their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.
Questions 22—25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

答案:26. G 27. M 28. A 29. L 30.C 31.F 32. J 33. O 34. I 35. E
【答案解析】
26. 根据空格位置,marine此处形容词,可判断出26题应为名词。marine的意思是“海生的,海运的”固定搭配“marine habitat”海洋栖息地。所以本题答案为“G”habitat“栖息地”。
27. 根据空格位置,词性应该为动词的被动态。本篇文章对A300持有肯定态度,所以此句想表达“A300”对环境没有任何潜在的坏处,故答案应为“M”, “be stripped of”意为“剥夺”。
28. 此题空格前有“will”, 所以此处应填动词原形。选项中动词原形有“A”和“H”, 根据句意得知,沉没的飞机可以让人工珊瑚长的更好。所以本题答案为“A”,create“创造,产生”。
29. 此处应填动词原形,主语为“plane”,故谓语动词应为单三形式。所以答案是“L”,stretches意为“延伸”,此处指“飞机机身总长为54米”。
30. 此处应填副词,用来修饰后面的“be able to venture”, 答案应锁定在“C”eventually和“L”intentionally。这句话的意思是水肺式潜水者能够在船舱内冒险。故选项“C”eventually“最终地”,更符合句意。
31. 此处应填名词形式,因为空格前为“plane’s”。名词选项有“F”和“N”。空格处前半句是时候水肺式潜水者能够在船舱内冒险,所以后半句应该为他们也可以在船舱外面冒险。故答案为“F”exterior“外部,表面”。
32. 因为空格前为“on that”...所以此处应为名词。本句话的大意是:买这架飞机花了很多钱,所以他们希望通过旅游业能够看到自己投资的回报。所以答案为“J”investment“投资”。
33. 此处应填名词形式。空格后的内容为“严重的致命恐怖袭击”,所以空格处应为victim“受害者”。故答案为“O”。
34. 此处应为副词形式。因为副词修饰形容词“largest”。副词只剩“I”intentionally有目的性地,故意地,修饰后面sunk, 所以本题答案为“I”。
35. 此题应为v.-ing形式,与and前的“taking a trip underwater”保持并列。“E”exploring和“K”revealing都是v.-ing形式。根据本句句意,“E”exploring“探索”更符合句意。本句话的意思是“水下旅行和探索沉没的A300的内部都会是一场冒险”。
